rsh through an action on the front panel

[Sherrie Kubis]

I start my CDE front panel on a Compaq Tru64. I have actions defined to create a dtterm on Tru64 and HP-UX machines. The actions to the Tr64 work as I expect. The actions to the HP-UX are not.

The action is an rsh -l account host "/usr/dt/dtterm -ls -display xxxnnnnn:0.0"

While at the tru64 os level, I issue this command, the window shows that it logs into my c shell, a prompt appears, and my keyboard mapping is okay. If this same command is issued as an action, the window appears, but I don't see that the c shell is executed.

What is different in the way that a front panel action is executes an rsh as opposed to the os level? My default shell is csh because this is required by a third-party product.

Any insights would be appreciated.
